Più reale della realtà

The Plot: A company has developed a virtual reality pod, and wants volunteers to try it out. Jeff Fahey plays the lead character, who's eloping with the girl he loves. She ends up being killed, and he's heart broken. A couple of years later, he signs up to try the pod, because he feels he dosen't have anything else. First, things go cool, and he has fun with it. But, after someone from the company does something to the pod, it's able to key into Jeff's mind, and it brings back his dead girlfriend, in the virtual reality. She keeps showing up, and at first he dosen't like it, soon, he starts falling in love with her again, and dosen't want to lose her again. Soon, all he wants to do is stay in the pod, and it becomes his whole world. Most of the company wants him to lost himself in it, except for two people, including his dead girlfriend's best friend, who's now seeing Jeff (though he broke up with her for the pod girl) Will he get out alive? Watch it! hahaha.

I really liked the movie! Jeff Fahey's great to look at, as always, though the other characters aren't very 'colorful' in their role. The movie is fun! It's a great concept, I know I would LOVE a pod like that! Entertaining.

This film begins with a young woman by the name of "Paris" (Carrie Genzel) sneaking out of her house late at night in order to elope to Las Vegas with her boyfriend "Liam" (Jeff Fahey). Unfortunately, while camping out under the stars that same night things take a tragic turn for the worse when two thugs appear on the scene and proceed to shoot Liam and subsequently rape and kill Paris. And although Liam eventually recovers from his wounds he is still psychologically haunted from his ordeal. It's during this time that Paris' best friend "Laura" (Ami Dolenz) appears and helps bring him back to some degree of normalcy. Yet even then he remains emotionally fragile. That being the case-and to take his mind off of things-he volunteers for an experiement involving virtual reality. However, upon doing so things begin to really spiral out of control when he comes face to face with-none other than-Paris. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I remember watching this movie on television when it first came out and rather liked it at the time. Admittedly, the made-for-television format and the somewhat predictable plot limited its overall appeal to a certain degree but even so there were a couple of suspenseful scenes here and there which helped in that regard. Be that as it may, while it isn't a great film by any means, it managed to pass the time fairly well and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
